The Emperor nodded.

The seventh-ranked monk didn't say anything more, and very consciously gave up his position.

It's not that he's greedy for life or afraid of death, or worried about his reputation.

But in his heart, Xiao Jing'anhou is indeed more suitable than himself to represent the imperial court.

After nearly three hours of selection.

The seven monks were finally determined.

In addition to Jiang Chuyue, there were six people in total.

Three of them are acquaintances - Bai Ping, Xiao Rongxue, and Murong Chaifeng.

In the course of the competition.

They are all devastating victories.

Ren Pingsheng thought that his little uncle Bai Ping would make some jokes.

Unexpectedly, this time he didn't have so many messy show-off skills, only brought a moon-white mask, and stood on the competition venue.

Before entering the palace.

Ren Pingsheng has confirmed that there must be three of them in the top nine.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see the results of the competition.

As for the other three.

One person is from Baiyun Temple.

He wears a blue robe that represents the disciple of Dao Zun.

Judging by his age and strength, he should be ranked second to his aunt, but I don't know if he is the fifth disciple or the sixth disciple of Daozun.

One is from the Jianghu sect.

is a sloppy man, like Jiang Chuyue, he is not on the Tianjiao list, and he can be regarded as a folk master who suddenly appeared.

There is also one person who is Xiao Jing Anhou, who invited Ying to fight just now.

The test with the demon clan is scheduled for seven days later.

In order to prevent unexpected situations from happening.

In the next seven days, more than 30 people who entered the palace to participate in the selection all lived in the palace.

Emperor Zhaowu did not have many concubines.

The harem has several perennial idle palaces, which are given to them.

Although it is not in accordance with etiquette.

But this matter is very involved, and many officials do not know the details, so naturally they can't say anything.

The great eunuch Wang Zheng briefly explained a few words.

Everyone followed the eunuch who led the way and walked to the idle palace.

"Lord Xiao......"

Ren Pingsheng came to Xiao Rongxue, who had never said hello, and said with a smile: "Let's stay in one room later?" ”

There are not many idle houses, and after all, two people have to live in one.

In the eyes of others, Xiao Nuxia is dressed as a man, so she should naturally live with a man.

Xiao Rongxue's face was expressionless, and she said lukewarmly: "In this way, wouldn't it disturb the Yaxing of the prince, or ......?"

Ren Pingsheng looked dazed: "What Yaxing?" ”

Xiao Rongxue didn't say a word, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Jiang Chuyue, who was clinging to Ren Pingsheng, and Mu Rou, who was not far away.

"Xiao Gongzi doesn't want to live with the prince, so don't force it."

Jiang Chuyue raised her eyebrows, took Ren Pingsheng's arm, held it in her arms, shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "The prince lives with others, people are very good at warming the quilt, and at night, people can still ......."

Speaking of this, her pretty face was smeared with red glow, she lowered her head shyly, her voice was soft and glutinous, and she trembled slightly: "Serve the prince well." ”

When Xiao Rongxue saw this scene, her eyes became even colder, and she silently quickened her pace.

Ren Pingsheng was stunned.

She just disappeared around the corner.

Jiang Chuyue watched her leave, snorted softly, and there was a touch of pride between her eyebrows.

It's a pity that before he was complacent for a few seconds, he suffered a brain collapse from Ren Pingsheng.

"Oops......"

Jiang Chuyue stretched out her hand to cover her head, and said aggrievedly: "Why is the son of the world beating people, it hurts so much......"

Ren Pingsheng sneered: "I can't stand this pain, at night, how do you plan to serve this son?" ”

Jiang Chuyue's eyes lit up, she looked at Ren Pingsheng expectantly, and whispered, "Actually...... It doesn't hurt very much either. ”

“……”

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a second, choosing to ignore her hints and step forward.

Jiang Chuyue hurriedly followed, and said in a soft and glutinous voice: "As long as the prince is happy, it doesn't matter if people hurt some." ”

After a stick of incense.

The three of them came to the gate of the palace.

The vast majority of people have already joined in.

There were only a few left, who looked extremely withdrawn, or extremely arrogant, standing still.

There is no doubt that these include Bai Ping and Xiao Rongxue.

Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth and walked up.

Xiao Rongxue glanced at Ren Pingsheng and saw Ren Pingsheng walking towards him, so she simply turned her face away and didn't look at him.

After waiting for a few breaths, I thought he would talk to him, but he didn't hear any movement.

"He didn't come to me?"

Xiao Rongxue's eyes showed a look of doubt, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Ren Pingsheng standing in front of Bai Ping, and asked with a smile: "Lord Bai, why don't we live in a room?" ”

Bai Ping wore a mask, could not see his expression, neither agreed nor refused.

"He's going to be with Shiro?"

Xiao Rongxue was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked around.

Except for Mu Rou and Jiang Chuyue, the rest were men.

In other words, if Ren Pingsheng and Bai Ping lived in the same room, he would only be able to sleep in the aisle alone.

This moment.

She was a little flustered, worried that Ren Pingsheng really wouldn't come to her.

It's just that she has a strong personality, and she is not allowed to pull down her face and take the initiative to find the person she rejected just now.

"He must have done this on purpose to make me angry...... Otherwise, how could I be left alone. ”

Xiao Rongxue thought so in her heart, and her eyes glanced at Ren Pingsheng from time to time, expecting him to walk towards her.

At the same time, prick up your ears and listen carefully to their conversation.

After a while, I heard Ren Pingsheng say: "...... That's it. ”

Immediately after, he caught a glimpse of him walking towards him.

"Can Lord Xiao find a suitable bed partner?"

Ren Pingsheng came to Xiao Rongxue and asked casually.

"Bullshit bed buddy, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths!"

Xiao Rongxue was slandered in her heart, but there was no expression on her face, she still looked cold, and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Ren Pingsheng was not annoyed, and asked with a smile: "Could it be that no one wants to live with Lord Xiao?" ”

Xiao Rongxue glanced at him, a copy of the woman who didn't bother to pay attention to you.

Ren Pingsheng shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It just so happens that no one wants to live with him, why don't we make do with each other?" ”

The voice did not fall.

Jiang Chuyue, who was not far away, came over and said loudly: "People are willing to be with the prince!" ”

Xiao Rongxue wanted to say: "Who wants to make do with you." ”

Seeing Jiang Chuyue so enthusiastic, she swallowed back these words, snorted lightly, and turned her face to the side.

In her opinion, this already represents a tacit acquiescence.

Ren Pingsheng sighed and said leisurely: "Lord Xiao really doesn't want to, so I won't force it in the next place, and I will leave." ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Xiao Rongxue was slightly stunned, and subconsciously opened her mouth to stay: "Wait ...... later"

Ren Pingsheng stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Xiao Rongxue pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible for you and me to live together, it's just that we can't ...... like last time."

Ren Pingsheng looked puzzled: "What was it last time?" ”

Xiao Rongxueqiao's face was slightly red, she pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Ren Ping realized it later, what she said was that the two of them went to the Yunlong Secret Realm and lived in a restaurant on the way.

Unexpectedly.

That's been almost a month or so on.

Xiao Nuxia has always kept it in mind.

Ren Pingsheng looked nonchalant and replied, "I'll try my best." ”

"You ......"

Xiao Rongxue glared at him, but still endured it.

Then he will stay in the palace for seven days.

You can't really live in a room with the man next to you, or sleep in the hallway.

Seeing that Xiao Nuxia agreed, Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look at Jiang Chuyue and Mu Rou, and said casually: "Later, let's live in the courtyard and take care of each other." ”

Mu Rou nodded lightly, her voice as soft as ever: "Thank you Gongzi Ren." ”

Jiang Chuyue pursed her lips and didn't want to speak.

She couldn't figure it out.

This "Xiao Gongzi", who is dressed as a man, is better than herself.

Why did the prince want to live with her, but he didn't want to promise himself.

Ren Pingsheng saw that the two of them did not refuse, and walked into the palace.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, they quickly found a suitable courtyard.

After Ren Pingsheng and the three of them moved in, they took a brief rest and got together.

"There is a high probability that this competition was proposed by the demon clan, so they must have made sufficient preparations, and even have the confidence to win.

Even so, the emperor still agreed to the request of the demon clan, which means that the emperor also has hole cards, but he doesn't know what it is......"

Ren Pingsheng sat on the chair and analyzed casually.

When Xiao Rongxue heard this, she raised her eyes to look at him, and then at Mu Rou on the side, with a serious face: "Perhaps, the hole cards are you and Miss Mu...... Otherwise, why did the emperor take you two out alone? ”

"Heroes see the same thing."

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly: "This Shizi also thinks so, but to be honest, I don't know what the emperor likes about me, and thinks I am his hole card." ”

Xiao Rongxue didn't answer again, her eyes looked at Mu Rou on the side, with curiosity in her eyes.

She always felt it.

Little Heavenly Master Mu Rou is Emperor Zhaowu's biggest hole card, but I don't know what she is good at.

I wanted to ask directly, but I felt that it was meaningless, so I simply kept silent.

Defeating the opponent's nine monks is the rule of victory, which determines that each of the nine chosen men will play.

As a result, the order of appearance is less important, and there are no skills worth discussing.

The four of them chatted for a while, and as the sun gradually set, they each returned to their respective rooms.

Although for Ren Pingsheng, this point does not do anything.

Still feeling a little tired, he went into the house, went to the bed, and closed his eyes and recuperated.

Side.

Xiao Rongxue looked at him and couldn't help but think of when they were in the restaurant in Shizhou, they shared the same bed, and he lived on his legs......

"Damn the color embryo."

She blushed, cursed in her heart, and simply pulled up a chair and sat down, lying on the table to rest.

Ren Pingsheng lay down for a while, noticed the abnormality, opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Rongxue, saw her lying on the table, and said casually: "If you don't want to sleep in the same bed with me, you can spread the futon on the table and sleep as well." ”

Xiao Rongxue pouted: "Why aren't you sleeping on the table?" ”

Ren Pingsheng turned over: "I don't care about sharing a bed with you." ”

It seems to be the truth......

Xiao Rongxue was silent for a moment.

Hesitated.

She decided to take Ren Pingsheng's suggestion, brought the futon and spread it on the table.

Turning his head and seeing Ren Pingsheng with his back to him, he quickly took off his coat and lay down.

The moonlight is like water.

The night is peaceful.

Xiao Rongxue lay on the bed, listening to the faint sound of breathing from Ren Pingsheng not far away.

I don't know why.

The scenes of traveling with him some time ago kept coming to mind and lingering.

All night, I couldn't sleep.

Following.

Early morning.

After Ren Pingsheng signed in, he got up from the bed, dressed neatly, and looked up, and saw Xiao Rongxue with red eyes, a little haggard between his eyebrows, and a tired look.

“？”

He looked puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What did you do last night?" Haven't slept all night? ”

Xiao Rongxue yawned and said weakly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"How can it have nothing to do with me."

Ren Pingsheng spread his hands helplessly: "If you go out like this, others who don't know will think that I have done something to you." ”

Xiao Rongxue's eyes showed a look of confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

"What do you say?"

Ren Pingsheng asked rhetorically.

Xiao Rongxue was in a trance for a few seconds before she reacted, and said angrily: "That has nothing to do with you." ”

This son is for the sake of your reputation.

Kindness is when the donkey's liver and lungs.

Ren Pingsheng slandered in his heart, didn't say more, took the Hongming knife, walked out of the house, and began his daily cultivation.

More than half an hour later.

Jiang Chuyue helped Mu Rou out of the house, brought her a chair, and let her sit in the sun.

After that, he carefully brought her a blanket and covered her legs.

Do it all.

Jiang Chuyue approached Ren Pingsheng, her nose wrinkled, and after not smelling the woman's fragrance, a smile appeared between her eyebrows.

The naked eye was visibly much happier, stood on tiptoe, put on a weak appearance, and said softly: "People really warm the bed, the prince won't think about it anymore......"

Ren Pingsheng looked at her, opened his mouth, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the voice of the palace maid came from outside.

"His Royal Highness lives here?"

Ren Pingsheng looked out the door and asked casually, "Which son?" ”

The palace maid said: "The prince of Zhenbei." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell.

A delicate palace maid walked in and said softly, "Shizi, my Royal Highness is invited." ”

Ren Pingsheng recognized her identity at a glance, she was the palace maid of Yong'an Palace, and the highness she said didn't need to think about it, she knew that it must be a sister-in-law.

"I know, this world will pass."

Ren Pingsheng answered, put the Hongming knife on the table, and walked out behind the palace maid.

Jiang Chuyue watched his back disappear from sight, and he was in a trance for a few seconds before he reacted, and he hadn't answered himself yet.

pouted depressedly, and shouted at his back: "People will agree to the world!" ”

…………

Ren Pingsheng followed the palace maid to Yong'an Palace.

Step into the familiar yard and look around.

I saw Qing'er standing at the door, but I didn't see my sister-in-law.

Ren Pingsheng opened his mouth, and was about to ask a question, but before he could say anything, he heard Qing'er say: "Your Highness is waiting for the prince in the house." ”

I usually come to Yong'an Palace every time.

Yunhe stayed in the courtyard and couldn't wait to see him.

What are you doing hiding in your house today?

Ren Pingsheng felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, bowed slightly, pushed open the door, and walked in.

Before I saw anyone, I heard a familiar voice sound, crisp and pleasant.

"You're here......"
